Swan Park, Buncrana, Inishowen, County Donegal
1st- 29th February 2024
‘Art in the Park: AWAKEN ‘exhibition is part of Artlink Fort Dunree’s ‘New Rhythm’ programme . We want to help nurture a new rhythm – a new way of working, a new routine, which is informed by the Celtic Agrarian Calendar to reconnect us with natural rhythms, the seasons, the tides, the place where we are.
Our aim is to make art in the area more visible and more physically accessible to enhance the cultural experience of local people and visitors alike, and to complement the exceptional natural features and rich resources of Swan Park and surrounding area.
Swan Park was bequeathed to the people of Buncrana and its visitors by Harry Swan, whose family ran a successful milling business in the town from 1868 until the early 1980s. We are delighted to be working with Donegal County Council and Arts Council of Ireland to bring the park to life this springtime.
